The US shouldn't bail out the banks and we deserve another Great Depression
  • I think that your message is pretty clear if they're not somebody trolling on the internet asking everybody to reason things out for them. It must be so withering for them to wander through life hearing things and not being able to reason any of it out. I agree with your unpopular but factual opinion, based on our voting and actions as a herd we likely do deserve another great depression whether we think it's good or bad. A reversion to the mean is not "edgelord bullshit", simply a basic understanding of fucking economics. It may be an unpopular opinion, but there are plenty of people who do have some knowledge and experience in the world who are equally concerned that we don't change our policies, because that would be the only thing that stops us from actually getting a reversion to the mean and a depression cycle

  • A 19-Year-Old Died After Taking ‘Gas Station Heroin’. His Mom Wonders Why It’s Still Being Sold Legally.
  • That's just a blatant lie, a 30 second search on the internet returned plenty of information about this substance... If you can't establish enough confidence that some random drug that you buy at a gas station isn't the really legit, don't buy it? Ugh, we are doomed at this rate

  • Suspect dead in Texas after 8 people are killed at 3 locations in Joliet, Illinois
  • I'm not sure why you take issue with the facts that the word aggravated in this context means that the people are implied, or that adding words is not easier to read. It's okay that you didn't know what aggravated means, but it still doesn't change the fact that this is redundant information. Redundant information is harder to read, and the specific gender of the victim does not add anything to the context for the headline, a de facto harder to read title. It's possible that this was done on purpose, or that the author was also unaware that aggravated means people are involved and felt they needed to add words.

  • Suspect dead in Texas after 8 people are killed at 3 locations in Joliet, Illinois
  • You're right about the backyard but that would involve a person or people. If the discharge is aggravated, by definition it implies that people are involved. Adding the gender of the person that is implied is done for an emotional response from certain groups by not providing context that is useful. We fill in the blank with our biases.

  • Snowpocalypse? That looks like about 6", not used to getting much snow these days eh? Where I live we need to see 3 or more feet to consider it a snowpocalypse, what you got is just a dusting

  • Disclosure of sensitive credentials and configuration in containerized deployments - ownCloud
  • It's probably best to look at what the devops industry is embracing, environment variables are as secure as any of the alternatives but poor implementations will always introduce attack vectors. Secret management stores require you to authenticate, which requires you to store the credential for it somewhere - no matter what there's no way to secure an insecure implementation of secrets access

  • Google ends deal to build 15,000 Bay Area homes due to “market conditions”
  • I don't see any evidence to support the assertion that government is more efficient, but I may have missed it in the article. Could you cite your sources please?

    I'm not sure why we wanted Google building housing anyway, seems like a perfect opportunity for them to blend their real estate and advertising holdings in a perverse way. This seems like the best possible outcome.....

  • A boneheaded state official may have just handed the NRA a big Supreme Court victory
  • I guess, according to this article, car insurance companies are encouraging people to drive recklessly and kill others in their vehicles, simply by providing them with insurance against the bodily injury of others. I'm not sure how the author doesn't see the parallels between any insurance that guards against reckless behavior and the NRA's insurance. To be clear I'm not a user of their insurance or a member of their organization, just finding the lack of introspection in the argument used in the article appalling.
